Broken

In A Night Full Of Stars

Zoya woke up to the morning sunshine stretching her arms. She looked at the sleeping figure beside her. She smiled and placed a soft kiss on his cheek which woke him up. He smiled at her. He wished to wake up to this very face every morning. "How was the night?" He asked in a sleepish tone. "The best I have ever had in my life." She said honestly.
"Ok now get up and get ready quickly.. hume Ammi ke paas bhi jaana hai." Zoya said and got up to freshen up.

Sahir was almost ready. He was wearing a white T shirt with blue jeans, something that he thought would be comfortable for the journey. They had spent hours planning their honeymoon. Though any exotic location would have been fabulous , they couldnt agree on anything.
Flashback
"Zoya.. I think Paris would be fantastic or London.. what do you say?" Sahir asked Zoya while searching for honeymoon destinations on his phone.
On getting no response, he looked at her. She had a strange expression on her face.
"Whats the matter? Is there somewhere else you want to go?" Sahir asked.
"No. Its just that you know I am scared of flights. All these places are fantastic but cant we take ship?" Zoya asked innocently.
Sahir couldnt help but laugh.
"You are too cute Zoya." He said.
"Its ok.. lets drive." He said.
"To Paris?" She asked.
"Obviously not.. somewhere."
"I am sorry.. I ruined your plan." She said.
"Its never 'my' plan.. its always 'ours'. " He smiled
"And waise bhi whats matters is you are with me. If you want we can have honeymoon in a Lucknow itself." He winked.
Flashback ends.

So they decides to visit North East. Zoya always wanted to visit it and Sahir was more than happy that she had finally agreed for something.
They had two weeks planned for it. Moreover, Sahir thought it was better. Driving will give him more time with her and he wanted to live the journey more than the destination. He was brought out of his thoughts by the clicking of his door.

"Sahir.. here is the breakfast and your coffee." Zoya said placing the tray on the table.
"Zoya.. I dont feel like eating." Sahir said.
"Ok we are already late.I dont have time to handle your tantrums." Zoya said sternly.
"But seriously I am in no mood to eat."
"Listen are you eating or do you want me to force you."
"Oh God.. ok fine. You are such a strict wife." Sahir muttered.
"What did you say? " Zoya asked.
"Nothing baby. I was just saying perks of being married." Sahir passed a sarcastic smile.

Zoya stopped the car in front of dargah while Sahir gave her a questioning look.
"Sahir, we are starting a new life today, I want to take the blessings from him. I shall never be able to thank him enough for sending you in my life." Zoya said placing her hand on his
They entered the dargah and knelt down to pray. Sahir could feel warm tears forming in the corner of his eye. He didnt know why but a strange emotion overwhelmed him. He had no one to pray for apart from the woman beside him, he wished all the happiness of heaven to be bestowed on this pure soul. Zoya had a similar wish to make to make for him.

Only Allah knew the purity of the selfless love they had for each other. Sahir and Zoya were meant to be. They were always meant to be together. They were meant to be bound to each other.

After taking a quick hault at Roshnaq's, they started with their journey. It was supposed to be 18 hours journey to gangtok. They had decided to take a stop at night and continue the next morning. To anybody 18 hours journey could seem tiring but for Sahir Zoya, it was a bliss. This was exactly what they wanted, living the journey.

"Sahir woh dekhiye!" Zoya pointed at something fascinating out of the window.
"Zoya.. agar mai udhar dekhta rahunga toh drive kaise karunga?" Sahir wouldnt have said that if it was not for 10th time within last 10 mimutes.
"Theek hai.. hum kuch bolenge hi nahi." Zoya made a straight face and started looking out of the window. Sahir looked at her and smiled. She really looked cute when she was angry and yes now like an ideal husband he had to apologise.
